    I agree with you Red, but he needs to call a spade a spade and stop shying away from the term Islamic Terrorist.

    OK, about SOF raids that kill bin Ladin? How about airpower in Libya, Yemen, Syria and Iraq? Spell it out. What exactly should he have been doing that he has not?

    it is overwhelmingly understood that Clinton undermined and weakened both the CIA and FBI leading up to 9/11. You certainly can't blame a President less than 8 months into his Presidency on policies that occurred over an 8 year period prior to his election.

    Why not, they're still blaming the 2nd Bush for everything.

    Suicide requires no courage. It is a bail-out.

    If they were brave, they would go to Allah by fighting their enemies straight-up. This is a characteristic Sunni Arab radical thing. They go after innocents in their homes instead of the fighting men right in their faces. Cowardly by all Western standards. And by many eastern standards, too.

    I'll give the Shiites one thing, mostly those Persian-backed Hezbollah radicals try to kill the enemy fighting men, like the Marines in Lebanon, the soldiers in Khobar towers, and any Israeli they can find. The don't go around with suicide vests much killing civilians. They do laugh rockets into Israel from time to time, but Israel hits them with airpower regularly. Rockets are their air force. They aren't on jihad against the West, they are fighting Israel and anybody who attacks them.

    But these sunni Jihadists, Al Qaeda and ISIS and all of their copycats, they are criminals, cowards, and charlatans. Hamas and the Palestinian terrorists are mostly insurgents trying to get their land back, but they also practice suicide bombings against civilians, so they are cowards, too.

    That is what you allege, it is not "understood" at all. How did Clinton undermine and weaken the FBI and CIA? Be specific.

    Well, the 9/11 commission certainly did! You should read the report. Clinton at least tried to kill bin Ladin twice as President with cruise missile strikes. Bush not only failed to retaliate for the USS Cole bombing, he ignored a memo written by his security experts about Al Qaida determined to strike in US, and he did nothing at all about Al Qaida until 9/11.
